Santa Claus is Coming to Town, the Springsteen version.
And Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt
And that little song by the Waitresses.... :)

Do You Hear What I Hear - the Whitney Houston version - is my favorite!

Carol of the Bells is one of my favorites! My kids know that come Dec.1st ,the only music on the car CD player is Christmas music. I love it, but I am not ready for it until then.

Sorry if this shows up twice. I typed it once and it disappeared. My kids Favorite is Rudolph. I flip flop between Santa Baby and Winter Wonderland.

I hate Christmas music a month before Christmas, but I love it a week before.

Little Drummer Boy is always good - the David Bowie version is my fav.

I love them all! Love Christmas music! Louis Armstrong's "Zat you, Santa Claus?" is one of my faves.

Dominic the Donkey, so spiritual, lol. And Faith Hill's A Baby Changes Everything, her powerful voice mixes with a poignant twist on Mary and Joseph.

Mary's Boy Child-It will always remind me of my mother

I love Josh Groban's voice singing Christmas songs on his album "Noel."

I love them all—especially Away in a Manger. It really gets me into the spirit of Christmas

I'm with Sandy- Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey doesn't get enough airtime if you ask me!

I agree with Susan. I love Mary's Boy Child, but I also love Heat Miser/Snow Miser.

Favorite Christmas song in film: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, in the 1951 Alistair Sim version of A Christmas Carol. Favorite tear-jerker holiday song: TIE: Little Drummer Boy from the Greer Garson-narrated animated classic of the same name, and Judy Garland singing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, in the 1944 film, Meet Me in Saint Louis. Favorite song to sing in church: Adeste Fidelis (O Come, All Ye Faithful). I also love the Advent song, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. God I'm glad I got those off my chest. I was holding back, but I feel much better now.

My favorite Christmas carol is The Little Drummer Boy. Love it. And I always appreciate a good version of Silent Night.

All great choices folks.

My favorite Chrismas song, and perhaps favorite song in general, is "O Holy Night". Many great versions-Nat King Cole, Josh Groban, Celtic Woman, little Rhema Marvanne. Harry Chapin even borrowed a refrain for his song, "Mr. Tanner".

Another favorite is a song that gets very little air time-"The Gift" by Aselin Debison. Check it out if you get a chance.

And for those of you who are still trying to decide what to get me, let me give you a hint. "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas".

Have a warm and safe holiday season.

Peace,
Jimmy

It takes me FOREVER to get warmed up to Christmas songs.....when I was a kid, we went caroling to shut-ins a week or so before Christmas and the sweetest old man begged us to stay and sing one more. He tearfully told us that he was all alone and this - a group of little kids singing carols - was his Christmas. It had never occurred to me at that young age that some people spent the holidays alone and I think it scarred me - badly. To this day I can't sing or hear Oh Holy Night without getting choked up.

My grandfather's favorite song was "I'll Be Home for Christmas" which he said he sang to my grandmother when he went overseas while in the service so I get choked up on that one, too.

Maybe I should learn the words to "Dreidel, Dreidel"?

I know I said I don't choose listen until Dec.1, but all this talk about Christmas music is making me want to pull out the collection and let the festivities begin!! :)
Brenda, my daughter and I went caroling last year with some of the neighborhood kids. I was very surprised how much everyone enjoyed it. We will be doing it again this year!

its not the "holiday's" until I listen to alices resteraunt on Thanksgiving... then I love John Lennon's Happy Xmas (war is over). I was raised listening to the Beatles, so it reminds me of my family.

Christmas always begins, for me, with The Pogues' Fairy Tale of New York.

Who doesn't love Shane and Kirsty belting out a traditional song of Holiday Season. I think I'll play it all Xmas Eve!

It used to be "Christmas Rapping" by the Waitresses. I was in a band that played it every year. The band had a horrific breakup, and now I don't like listening to any songs we used to play. So I guess it would be a toss-up between "Do They Know It's Christmas" (I never get tired of the drums in that song), "Merry Christmas Baby" (Springsteen version) and anything from the Peanuts special. I do not know how Paul McCartney's song that talks about simply having a wonderful Christmastime ever became a hit.

I like "Silent Night" by Stevie Nicks and if I'm singing with my grandaughter we like "Santa Claus is coming to town"
